(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok this is my first post and hopefully this is something useful for you guys. I wanted to download ps3 game torrents off the internet and install them into my internal hard drive but i needed a FAT32 hard drive large enoough. I went and got myself an 80gb hard drive that was on NTFS. Later i found out that this hard drive could only be formatted to NTFS and exFAT, both of which are not compatible with the ps3. Correct me if im wrong on this but i remember hearing somewhere that you cant get FAT32 hard drives over 4gb. Not sure about that though. But anywhoo this should help you guys out

Step 6: Use the default allocation size unit unless you want to change it. Then type in the name you want to give your hard drive. I wrote "BACKUP". Check the quick format. Then finally press start.

I am error
This is common knowledge for most and google will give you 10 apps to do it with.

The only people who are looking for help formatting to fat32 are the ones with a ext drive that is above 2tb.

Most of the common fat32 formatting apps will not even read and the rest will fail.

got two 3tb, all fat32.
